Masha and Vladimir were born and raised in different families. Masha Troekurova's family was very wealthy, and Vladimir grew up in a poor family. They also differ greatly in their views and character. Vladimir was never worried about the future; he squandered his money and allowed himself a lot. Masha was very well brought up, educated, loved to read French novels, she is modest and loves to dream.

When Deforge appeared in the house, he did not make any impression on Masha, but when he courageously led the beast and killed the bear, Masha was struck by this act, and she appreciated Deforge and changed her attitude towards him. The young people began to communicate more and spend time together, Masha had good hearing, so the Frenchman began to study music with her. Time passed, and Deforge won the heart of a young girl. When Masha found out at a meeting in the garden that Dubrovsky was in front of her, she was very surprised. She learned that her feelings were mutual.

At this time, Masha's father, Troekurov, a very rude and capricious man, decided to marry Masha to the old Prince Vereisky, for the sake of the wealth that the prince had. Masha really didn’t want to marry the old man, but no one was going to take her opinions into account. She decided to ask Dubrovsky for help, as they agreed, she put the ring he gave her in the hollow, with the help of her brother. During the wedding, she was very pale and looked unhealthy; she constantly waited for Dubrovsky to arrive, but he never came. She had to agree to become Vereisky's wife. When they were driving to their estate after the wedding, Dubrovsky stopped their carriage; he wanted to give her freedom. She did not agree, since she was already engaged and took an oath.

One of the main threads of the narrative in the novel by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin is the love of Maria Kirilovna Troekurova and Vladimir Andreevich Dubrovsky. On what soil was this wonderful feeling born? What did it lead to and how did it end?

The fathers of the young people, being neighbors, had been friends and communicated with each other for a long time. But chance quarreled the poor but proud Andrei Dubrovsky and the vain rich master Troekurov. Kirila Petrovich, in a moment of anger, vindictively bribed the court, sued Andrei Gavrilovich for his estate and the only village of Kistenevka. The adversity that befell undermined the health and strength of Andrei Dubrovsky.

Vladimir, having read the news of his father’s illness, immediately comes to his father’s house, in which, after the quick funeral of Andrei Gavrilovich, Troekurov’s people begin to take charge. In desperation, Vladimir Dubrovsky burns his native estate and becomes a robber with the peasants loyal to him, whose main goal is revenge on the tyrant master Kiril Petrovich.

An unexpected obstacle to retribution is the emerging feeling for Masha Troekurova.

Maria Kirilovna was loved by her father, but since Troekurov was a spoiled, capricious and hot-tempered man, he treated his daughter rather harshly and sternly.

Lacking sincere and trusting relationships in the family, Masha grew into a sensitive and rather secretive young girl.
Under the guise of a young Frenchman, Deforge, Vladimir entered Troekurov’s estate. Masha, full of social prejudices, initially did not pay the slightest attention to the teacher who appeared, but one incident was able to change her attitude.

The starting point was the strange fun of Kiril Troekurov, during which he locked a newly arrived guest in a room with a bear on a chain. A man full of horror had to stand, being squeezed into a safe nook, for several hours at a time. A similar joke on the Frenchman ended with Deforges confidently shooting at the bear. The courage and pride of the Frenchman changed Masha’s opinion about the teacher, thanks to which they began to spend more time alone, talking and playing music.

After some time, Deforge makes an appointment with Maria Kirilovna in the garden. Rushing to go on a date, Masha was full of conflicting feelings and doubts, but how unexpected was the confession not only about love, but also about the personality of Dubrovsky, hiding under the name of a French teacher.

Dubrovsky disappeared, promising Masha any help and support. Very soon this help came in handy. The father decided against his will to marry his only daughter to the rich, but elderly and vicious Prince Vereisky.
On the wedding day, Masha waited until the last moment and believed in Dubrovsky’s appearance, but finally, the words and oaths of fidelity were pronounced by the priest, and the girl became the wife of a noble old man.

On the way from the church, the wedding carriage was attacked by Dubrovsky's people. The leader of the robbers opened the doors of the carriage, but Masha, being faithful to her vows, refused to accept the freedom and love given to her.

The main idea of ​​this sad love story was devotion to a sense of duty and one’s word. Having sacrificed their love, the heroes lost their happiness, but retained their inner core, honor and dignity, despite the fact that it was hardly worth such suffering and deprivation, in the opinion of a modern person, not burdened by rigid social boundaries.

Option 2

The novel by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin raises many human problems. A considerable part of the plot is devoted to issues of relationships between people. This theme is especially strongly revealed in the relationship between Masha Troekurova and Vladimir Dubrovsky. Against the background of their love story, the reader encounters such concepts as honor, responsibility and honesty. These characters play an important role in this work. They help uncover the feud between two quarreling families. But what is this couple like, and how does their love story develop?

The Dubrovsky and Troekurov families were in a state of friendship. But any idyll can be destroyed by even the smallest quarrel. The fathers of Vladimir and Masha became furious enemies. There was no trace of the former friendship left. Their children suffer the most from this conflict. They cannot meet or even just have contact. Nevertheless, the younger Dubrovsky manages to see his beloved. Having settled down as a tutor at the Troekurov estate, Vladimir met with Masha.

Masha, due to her modesty, cannot tell him about her feelings. Her character was greatly influenced by her father's guardianship in all aspects. Thanks to total control, his daughter cannot express her own opinion. Surprisingly, at the same time, Mash is quite a serious and responsive person. Perhaps the author wanted to show the reader the image of a classic young lady from a noble family. This is also indicated by the girl’s great love for romantic literature, which was typical for that period. She longs for simple love, which she cannot get from her own family. Vladimir, on the contrary, has a thirst for adventure, acting as a kind of robber, striving to achieve his goal by any means. After the sudden death of his father, he was left completely alone. Life forced him to become an adult in order to cope with all the difficulties. It would seem that 2 completely opposite personalities cannot get closer. But in fact they have a lot in common. Both Vladimir and Masha lost their mother at an early age, and they both have a rather difficult fate.

Troekurov's daughter serenely falls in love with the tutor, not knowing that Vladimir is hiding under his mask. He reveals his real goal - revenge on Troyekurov the elder. Masha realizes that in front of her is an enemy of her family, who wishes harm to her father. But the girl’s feelings come first, and she does not reject her lover. But Dubrovsky does not expect such a reaction. He sees that Masha sincerely loves him and does not dare to cause suffering, leaving Masha without her only loved one.

Unfortunately, they will not be able to become spouses. Masha is destined to marry Prince Vereisky, who is a close friend of Troekurov. Vladimir offers to escape with him. But the young lady shows loyalty to her principles, thanks to which she cannot hurt another person, and refuses the robber. This moment says a lot about her character and life values, which will never bend under the influence of love feelings.

Essay 3

The romantic line in the work plays an important role. The description of the love between Masha and Dubrovsky allows the author not only to give readers a familiar plot containing a love affair, but also to more deeply highlight the characters’ characters.

Being the children of two friends, Dubrovsky and Masha most likely had to get married over time, at the behest of their parents. However, a quarrel, and then the ruin and death of Dubrovsky Sr., robbed by Troyekurov, turns Vladimir from a guards officer into an ataman of robbers. This circumstance should have put an end to his possible romantic relationship with Troekurov’s daughter.

However, when Dubrovsky, under the guise of a French teacher Deforge, appears in the house of his main enemy, feelings flare up between the young people.

In this case, the peculiarities of upbringing and views on life characteristic of the noble environment of that time are revealed. The leader of the robbers retained the worldview and demeanor of a guards officer, so it was completely natural for him to become carried away by a beautiful girl equal to him. Fashionable books and public opinion at that time clearly put love above everything else, which forced Vladimir to neglect revenge for his father and his own ruined life because of Masha.

Masha also read similar books and dreamed of beautiful romantic love. Having met a French teacher, a man of lower social status, she at first does not pay attention to him. However, sensing that he is a brave and noble man with similar principles and upbringing, Troekurov’s daughter also falls in love. She is not stopped by the fact that Dubrovsky is her father’s mortal enemy, since according to the views she has absorbed from books, love is above all.

When Vladimir did not have time to escape with Masha, and could not stop her father from marrying the girl off to the unloved Prince Vereikis, she refuses to leave with him. According to the concepts of that time, prevailing among the nobility, a man could take his wife away from her husband and start living with her; for him, such an act was considered acceptable, although it was not very approved by society. However, Masha, in such a case, would cover herself with shame. Had she then returned to her unloved husband, she would have been awaited by the eternal contempt of those around her. In addition, she was dominated by the conviction of the sanctity of church weddings. As a result of all this, Masha, like the heroines of the novels she read, also chose to make a difficult sacrifice and sacrifice her feelings for the sake of duty.

The magnificent work of Alexander Pushkin tells not only about the fate of the Dubrovsky landowners, who, due to a quarrel with their neighbors, lost their estate and normal life, but this story is, first of all, about love. The main characters of Pushkin's plot are Masha and Vladimir, who, by coincidence, are the children of those same neighbor-landowners Dubrovsky and Troekurov, who started a lawsuit among themselves and became enemies.

Maria Troekurova is a well-mannered and pleasant girl who is pretty. It so happened that the girl’s mother died when she was still just a child. This left an imprint on the girl’s development; she began to spend a lot of time in nature, admiring the beautiful Russian landscapes. Hence her dreaminess, sensitivity and attentive attitude to everything that surrounds her. Maria is a person whom the author shows as harmoniously developed and pure.

That is why the relationship between Maria Kirillovna and her landowner father Kirill Troyekurov was so difficult. Despite the fact that the girl loved and even adored her father, she was in no hurry to share any of her thoughts and judgments with him. Yes, the girl was meek and obedient, but she was separated from her father, since he could never become her friend, so the girl never asked his advice on anything.

Kirill Petrovich himself loved his daughter very much, but his treatment of her was not always good. And this was due to his wayward character. So he could always please her whims and fancies, but suddenly, unexpectedly, his attitude towards his beloved and only daughter changed to cruelty and rudeness. He understood that his daughter loved him, but he wanted to achieve more, to become her friend, but it never worked out for him, and sometimes it drove him crazy, pushing him to rash and senseless actions.

Another hero of Pushkin’s work, Vladimir, was raised not so much by his father, but rather by life itself teaching him lessons. His mother also died early, and his father, not knowing what to do with his young son, sent him to a boarding school and then to the guard. Sometimes the son came to his father, saw his character and way of life, respected his father, but there was no trusting relationship between them. When trouble happened to his father, Vladimir, without hesitation, left his service, his cheerful and riotous life in St. Petersburg and came to his family estate, where he found his father dying.

Having learned about the lawsuit from his neighbor, having immediately lost both his father and his parents’ shelter, he becomes a “noble” robber. The main task that young Dubrovsky set for himself was to take revenge on the neighbor who killed his father. At first he simply robbed rich people on the roads, helping the poor, and then, seeing Troekurov’s daughter, falling in love with her, he decides to enter the house of his enemy. He finds out that a music teacher is visiting the girl's stepbrother, so he impersonates him.

So the young hero ended up in the Troyekurovs’ house, began to spend a lot of time with the heroine, and soon Masha also fell in love with him, as soon as she got to know him better. She noticed in him nobility, determination, loyalty and courage. But what captivated the girl most was that she found in him a man who could understand her without words, who understood the movement of her soul.

And when she finds out that the Frenchman Deforge is the young robber Dubrovsky, she, a little frightened, does not give up her love. But Vladimir is noble not only on the roads, where he robs and punishes only the rich and the guilty. He, loving himself, and seeing that Masha loves him too, personally admits to her that he is Vladimir Dubrovsky, that he is the enemy of her father, and that the police are looking for him for robberies on the roads. Vladimir, who behaves boldly and honestly on the roads, turns out to be modest, timid, vulnerable and reserved in his relationship with Masha.

For her sake, he is ready to give up revenge and forgive her father. The young hero understands that happiness, which is built on deception, cannot have a future. Duty and honor for Pushkin's main character are not just words, they have a very deep meaning for him.

But the girl’s father decides his daughter’s fate in his own way. When Maria Kirillovna finds out that he is going to marry her to another rich man, she agrees to run away with Dubrovsky. But fate turns out to be against them. The heroes encounter many obstacles on their way, and the result is an unsuccessful escape. But Masha, just like her fiancé, also perceives a sense of responsibility, honor and duty. In this they are very similar to the young hero. And for the sake of her honor and fulfilling her duty, no matter how terrible it may be for the girl, Maria Kirillovna is ready to sacrifice her love, although this will bring her suffering and pain.

This work ends tragically and sadly, where Vladimir, a little late, stops the carriage where Masha and her husband are riding from the church after the wedding. But now the girl cannot be with him when she still loves him. She was given over to another man before God, and she is going to keep it sacred.

We are talking about Pushkin’s unfinished novel “Dubrovsky”. Pushkin masters all possible genres and types of literature with equal perfection: from a heartfelt lyric poem to a novel. The specificity of the novel (we encountered this genre for the first time) is the complexity, branching of the plot, the narration of the lives of many characters, whose interests and destinies collide and intertwine.
- Prove that the work we are studying is a novel. (There are several storylines here: the depiction of the Russian nobility, the relationship between peasants and nobles, the theme of a peasant revolt, a love line; a variety of characters.)

— But who did Pushkin himself call the main characters of the work? Find lines that confirm this. (Chapter 3: “But it’s time to introduce the reader to the real hero of our story” - about Vladimir Dubrovsky; Chapter VIII: “Kirill Petrovich’s daughter ... is the heroine of our story” - about Masha.)
- So, today our focus is on one of the most interesting plot lines of the novel: love - and its main characters Vladimir and Masha. Let's write down the topic of the lesson. We have a lot of interesting work ahead of us - in the course of analyzing individual chapters of the novel, we will reveal the nature of the relationship between the main characters. Let's turn to the text of the work.
- What do you think made Vladimir Dubrovsky break into Troekurov’s house?

To a question as simple as it still seems to sixth-graders, they quickly answer that Dubrovsky wanted to take revenge on Troekurov. I draw their attention to the fact that in chapter X, the author explains the reason for this risky act: “I followed you, sneaking from bush to bush, happy in the thought that I was protecting you, that there was no danger for you where I was secretly present. Finally the opportunity presented itself. I settled in your house."
- Based on this action, we will determine the nature of Dubrovsky’s attitude towards Masha (Dubrovsky is in love with Masha. For her sake, he risks his life. The desire to be near her, to see her constantly is the main reason for his risky act.)

To understand how the nature of the relationship between the characters develops, let’s see how Masha reacted to him. To do this, let’s remember who Vladimir appears in the role of in Troekurov’s house.

— How did Masha react to the appearance of a new person in the house? Confirm with text. (Chapter VIII: “Masha did not pay any attention to the young Frenchman-l

- Why did Masha suddenly pay attention to the young Frenchman? What event made her change her attitude towards the teacher?

- Yes, this is the episode with the bear. Now we will see a fragment of the feature film “The Noble Robber Vladimir Dubrovsky” (we will discuss its name later). Think about the character traits Deforge showed while in the “bear room.” (Students note the protagonist’s determination, courage, composure, and ability to stand up for himself.)

— What has changed in the nature of Masha’s relationship with Deforge? Confirm with text.
(Chapter VIII: “She saw that courage and proud pride do not exclusively belong to one class, and from then on she began to show the young teacher respect, which became more attentive hour by hour... After that, it is no longer difficult for the reader to guess that Masha fell in love with him, without even admitting it to herself).

- Why do you think Pushkin chooses the verb “fell in love” and not “loved”, why doesn’t he strengthen it with some epithet: ardently, passionately? (Love -
a deep feeling, while falling in love is a light, romantic feeling. Masha saw a strong, brave hero for the first time. She had only read about such heroes in novels. A romantic feeling awakens in her young heart. Therefore, the verb “fell in love” is more accurate. Her imagination draws her a new hero, and Desforges becomes such a hero.)

— At the beginning of Chapter XII, Pushkin again writes about Masha’s feelings. Find the lines: “She began to understand her own heart and admitted, with involuntary annoyance, that it was not indifferent to the merits of the young Frenchman... She was bored without Deforge, in his presence she was constantly busy with him, she wanted to know his opinion about everything and always agreed with him. Perhaps she was not yet in love, but at the first accidental obstacle or sudden persecution of fate, the flame of passion was bound to flare up in her heart.”

— Now about the obstacles. Why does Deforge make an appointment with Masha in the garden? (Deforge needs to leave, since he took revenge on Spitsyn by taking his money. Now it is important for him to explain himself to Masha.)

- What did Masha expect to hear? (“She had been waiting for recognition for a long time, wanting and fearing it. She would be pleased to hear confirmation of what she suspected ... “)

- What did you hear? Let's turn to the text and find the answer to the question: “Why did Vladimir give up revenge?” (Chapter XII: “I realized that the house where you live is sacred, that not a single feeling connected with you by blood ties is subject to my curse. I refused revenge as if it were madness.)

— Developing the storyline exactly this way, what conclusion does Pushkin lead his readers to? (Love gives rise to the best feelings in a person. She, Masha, his beloved, with her very existence forced Vladimir to give up revenge.)

— Are Vladimir’s feelings clear to us? What words convey his condition? (“He grabbed her hand and pressed it to her flaming lips”)
- But “Marya Kirillovna stood motionless.” What does this mean?

— What do you think is changing in the nature of Masha’s relationship with Dubrovsky? (the nascent feeling frightens her, especially now that she has learned that Desforges is
Dubrovsky.)
— What event caused the heroes’ second date? (Matchmaking of Prince Vereisky.)

- Knowing that his beloved father is forcibly marrying him off, does Vladimir hate him? (Chapter XV: “Oh, how I should hate him, but I feel that now there is no place for hatred in my heart”)

- Who else owes their life to Masha? (Prince Vereisky. In Chapter XV Vladimir says:
“I will not touch him, your will is sacred to me. He owes you his life)

- Under what conditions does she agree to escape with Dubrovsky? (Chapter XV: “Then,
then there is nothing to do, come for me, I will be your wife.” If her father is not touched by her tears, she agrees to be with Dubrovsky.)
— Let us pay attention to the end of Chapter XIV. What is Masha talking about? (“No, no,” she repeated in despair, “it’s better to die, it’s better to go to a monastery, it’s better to marry Dubrovsky.”)

— Does Masha love Dubrovsky? (Pushkin does not give a direct answer. The fate of his wife
the robber scares her. They will have to live constantly in hiding; and for Masha, very
an obedient, homely girl, this is very difficult and scary.)
- Why do you think, when Masha finally decided to turn to Dubrovsky for help, Vladimir at such a fateful moment was late to his beloved and the wedding of Masha and the prince took place? (Under the current circumstances, their union and happiness are impossible.) We watch an episode of a feature film and think about the question: “Why, after the wedding, Masha refused Vladimir’s help?”
Discussion of the fragment. A sense of duty and honor takes over. She was ready to become the wife of a robber, but she cannot break her oath.
— Why didn’t Pushkin leave his hero at the head of the rebellious peasants? Why does Dubrovsky part with his “accomplices” and advise them to change their profession?
Let us summarize the students' thoughts: Dubrovsky is not the leader of the rebellious peasants. Pushkin emphasizes the personal motives of his rebellion. But now that Masha has become the prince’s wife and their lives have taken different paths, he has no need to stay here, nothing holds him here anymore. In addition, Vladimir understands how terrible life is when you are “on the run.” One must not live by robbery. Having read the novel “The Captain’s Daughter” in the 8th grade, we will understand Pushkin’s attitude towards rebellion: “God forbid we see a Russian revolt, senseless and merciless!”
